Continental Contitech 20017217 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017217 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in engine cooling systems. Made from Versgard EPDM rubber, it measures 3 feet in length with a 2.125-inch inner diameter and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The hose handles temperatures up to 260 degrees F, making it suitable for standard and moderately high-demand cooling applications. It is black in color and ships as a single unit. HVAC technicians, diesel mechanics, and fleet maintenance professionals install this type of hose during cooling system service or engine overhaul work.

This straight radiator hose is intended for use in vehicle and stationary engine cooling systems where a straight run is required between the radiator and engine block or coolant reservoir. The 2.125-inch diameter fits common radiator and engine block ports found in light commercial, industrial, and agricultural equipment. EPDM construction resists ozone, heat, and coolant additives, extending service life in demanding environments. It is suited for both OEM replacement and aftermarket cooling system upgrades where a straight hose configuration is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician. Drain and safely dispose of coolant before removing the existing hose, and allow the engine to cool completely before beginning work. Use appropriately sized hose clamps torqued per equipment manufacturer specifications, and inspect all clamp seats and fittings for corrosion or damage before reinstalling. Follow all applicable equipment service manuals and local regulations for coolant handling and disposal.
